Has anyone else tried the new pectin (Ball, I think) that makes freezer
jam without boiling the pectin first? I made batches of strawberry and apricot jams with it. Have not opened the apricot, but the strawberry is disappointing in both flavor and texture. The smaller amount of sugar called for is really noticeable in the flavor. The texture difference is harder to explain. gloria p |

More jello-er. And the color was not the sparkle of the full sugar, regular pectin recipe, but not too bad overall. Not something I would like to do. Edrena |
